North Dakota does not allow party hunting. If people are actually hunting together it is difficult to know who exactly shot what bird.

I have mot patterned the ones in my 20 but they did seem to perform well. I have a set of non-ported for my 12 ga 725 Feather and they did pattern better than the factory tubes.

I got the same gun a year ago. I used 2 3/4" Federal Premium 1oz 5's. They did good for me. Later in the season I put Federal blue box 3" 5's in the second barrel. They did well also. I run Briley ported chokes in light modified and improved modified.

What a tragic situation. About 15 years ago I hunted with a guy who had a Lab with all kinds of titles. That dog did not retrieve without using the e collar. I will take my imperfect dogs that are out there enjoying themselves over that any day of the week.

Sorry, my bad. I read it wrong.

I have just done a version of Fajitas. Just put the Pheasant breast, onions, peppers, and fajita seasoning in a crock pot. The meat will just shred and put it on tortillas with cheese, sour cream, salsa, and whatever else you like.

I moved away from MN to ND about 19 years ago. When did MN go to allowing only 3 shells in a gun for upland hunting? A friend of mine there did not know this. I noticed it a couple of years ago when I had license for all season and thought about trying for Pheasants when I was around at...

The first couple of weeks were great and showed a lot of promise, lots of young birds. Things never did seem to recover after that snowstorm on Oct 23? (13" or so). I think we may have lost some birds in that storm. I seemed to have shot a higher proportion of old birds afterward. They did...

I like it. Early season birds are better than late season birds. I like to make fajitas or deep fry strips.

A 725 Feather. Got the 12 ga version 6 years ago. About 3 years ago I decided to add a 20. I have had my eye out for one and finally got one through Gunbroker. The 12 will probably come out for late season.

After a few years of looking I picked up a 20. It is time to start picking up some shells. While there is stuff on the shelf it still seems to be a take what you can get situation, Any recommendations? How do 2 and 3/4" work?

I seem to have gotten through this one with only 2-3". Bird numbers still look decent and things shoud really start opening up next week.

6 years ago I bought a 725 Feather 12ga and fell in love with it. A few years ago, I decided to add another in 20ga. Post Covid, I finally got one through Gunbroker a few weeks ago. It felts great in my hands. Now to get some 20 ga loads.

I think that the westward spread of soybeans may have helped them get through the winter. There is almost no stubble on those fields so they have tended to open up a little sooner and allow access to some food.

I have been out of town a few times now and there are birds out there. Some hilltops are opening up in bean fields. I am at least somewhat optimistic although the long term forecast for next month doesn't look quite as good.

I bought a box of Prairie Storm a number of years ago. Took them out and tried them on late season birds. The birds cooperated that day and I struggled and shot more shells than usual to get my 3. I put them away till I bought a new Browning 725 Feather over/under and did some informal...

Took a short drive last night and things didn't look as bleak out there as what I feared. Saw a few birds. Some spots in fields blown almost clean and cover not completely buried. It's not going to be easy but there will be some hunting to do.

Winchester SXP pump. Lighter than similar guns and a good choke tube system.
